EXPLANATORY NOTES, AND SIMILAR PASSAGES,

FROM ANCIENT AND MODERN AUTHORS.

BY WILLIAM DODD, L.L.D.

LATE OF CLAR E-HALL, CAMBRIDGE.

The poet's eye, in a fine frenzy rolling,

Doth glance from heav'n to earth, from earth to heav'n,

And, as imagination bodies forth

The forms of things unknown, the poet's pen

Turns them to shape, and gives to airy nothing

A local habitation and a name. See Vid.Night's Dr. vol. 1. p. 232.
